After a long time, good-bye stubble! Very nice shave, with a satisfyingly creamy lather (much better than the Cella I used while traveling).
Have a good night!
Do you still enjoy l’ours russe?
Yes, I definitely don’t regret having bought it! It’s vers different from the Koraats or the TI thoughs
Good to hear! Maybe I’ll have to spring for one soon too :)
I don’t think you’ll regret it!

Proraso Red is the only soap I have, that I know of, that has any sandalwood in it at all. Luckily it’s all sandalwood, so there’s no question about it meeting the requirements of today’s theme.
Sandalwood Saturday, The Penultimate Challenge
- Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BADGER (Silvertip) #SUBBROOSH
- Razor: Eversharp-Schick Hydro-magic (I2, NOS)
- Blade: Personna Injector Blade
- Lather: Proraso – Sandalwood

I can’t believe that LG is already almost over again!
Theme: Proraso Red is a dry, warm, slightly dirty sandalwood scent.
Relevant post and frag: Both the post and frag are completely sandalwood-forward frags. I smell like dry twigs on a sunny patch of forest floor.
Challenge: It would be a bit unethical for me to answer since I know the current rankings. Well, now I do, but I knew this challenge would come, and I answered today’s challenge on day 1, before I had relevant knowledge. Here’s my answer:
- Main ROTY will go to u/MudAccording. He’s going full hog right out of the gate. The other two roty prizes are random so your guess is as good as mine.
- photocontest goes to u/Crossan1983, that black and white shot looks well set up, like he means business.
- FoF u/Hugbckt: Great write-up, someone to watch.
- LG goes to u/Tsrblke. He was a joy to follow last year, and this first post looks like he’s full of energy this year, plus, he has that racing team!
- No Scruba: The real winner here is going to be everyone (awww!) I’m looking forward to u/Enndeegee’s no scrub list, and dread his scrub list.
